PC-600-2 - Introduction to Instrumentation and Process Control, Process Control Basics for Non-Specialists


Overall objectives

  • Acquire an overview of process control systems
  • Develop important concepts like: open and closed loops, feedback, PID controllers, transmitters, pneumatic valves, performance, controller modes, etc.
  • Set industrial process control in a plant context
  • Distinguish the role and functions of equipment
  • Enumerate different goals for a control loop and identify the main goal for some loops
  • Enumerate advantages of cascade and feedforward control
  • Recognize faulty loops
Who should attend

Anyone concerned with the performance of processes: managers, supervisors, superintendents, production managers, engineers. You will appreciate the importance of process control and the new tools available to achieve objectives of today and meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Specific objectives

General

Metrology
  • Describe the major types of transmitters : Flow, Level, Temperature, Pressure
  • Enumerate the impacts of common faults with transmitters
Final control elements
  • Describe the major types of final control elements
  • Classify control valves based on: actuators, security, type (gate, globe, etc.), etc.
  • Justify the use of a positionner on control valves
  • Enumerate the impacts of common problems with transmitters
Tuning
